I had a quick search after the mention in my artwork thread and it seems we don't have a specific thread on them, so this is for Westland drone (RPV) projects.
Most interesting is possibly WG.25, which seems to have come tantilisingly close to deployment.

I've seen a number of threads on Youtube that is suggesting that the British Army is considering replacing it Challenger 2's with Leopard 2's instead of undertaking the CLEP. I've got to admit the videos are not brilliant; one of the makers Huff Hack is awful - the read of the stats of various...

A few questions about the equipment of the British Army:
I have read on Wiki that the Army is to dispose of it's entire fleet of Panther CLV? Why is this, I have read that it's cramped when fitted with BOWMAN? What will it's replacement be, the JLSTV?
How many Sky Sabre systems are being...
Hi, I searched the entire forum, but I did not find a thread about the Cultivator Number 6, a projected trenching machine; maybe it is well known to some of the readers, but I think it need a thread due to its particularity. Here the Cultivator as described by Winston Churchill in his book...

There is already a thread on what might have been in the 1930s.
I want to focus on the land forces. Britain and France in 1940 had some tanks (Somua and Matilda 2) which could match the Germans. If the French and British General Staffs had understood the importance of armoured units in a...
I noticed a Teddy Bear in Guards Uniform carrying an M16 (like the Canadian Army) and it got me wondering about the saga of the SA80 and what we are going to replace it with.
I get the impression that of the rifles introduced from the 1970s on only the French Army got one they liked. But even...
I should know the answer to this. When does Lance first emerge as a likely replacement for Honest John and Sergeant and even Corporal, given its range. I only ask because Lance does seem to make Blue Water pretty pointless as it has better range and more mobile with its M548 based launcher...
Hello!
We all know the Alvis Unipower variant of BR-90 Brigde System, but M-series had a whole family of vehicles as mentioned in this link:

Does anyone has blueprints with dimensions, brochures etc?
There was also a 12x8 variant which...
Was leafing through a book in a German bookshop in a series on army weapons and with the title
British Army Nuclear Missiles and Artillery in German.
I came across an official drawing of a Blue Water missile mounted on an FV4020 chassis. This is the first time I have
seen, what was presumably a...
The usual crew of retired military and political types are warning that the UK is not able to meet its defence requirements with the present budget and kit.
Given the collective expertise on this board what advice would you give the Prime Minister who takes over in May after the election?
